Claiming a Prize
Congratulations! Here’s how to claim your prize:
You can claim prizes depending on how your ticket was purchased:
Prizes up to $1,000:
If you purchased your ticket at a Lotto Spot retailer or through the Lotto Spot app, you can claim prizes up to and including $1,000 at participating retailers.
Note: Always check with the retailer to make sure they have enough cash to pay your prize.
Prizes over $1,000:
For prizes of $1,001 or more, you must claim them through a prize office.
Tickets bought from a Lotto Spot retailer can also be mailed in for prize claims.
For Lotto Spot App Purchases:
To claim your prize, present the barcode from the "My Tickets" section of the app to a retailer or at a prize office before the ticket expires.
Important: Printed copies of tickets from the Lotto Spot app will NOT be accepted.
Can’t claim your prize in person? You may submit your mobile ticket information using this form. Please contact Player Care for further instructions or information.
PROTECT YOUR BARCODE. DO NOT SHARE OR GIVE ACCESS TO THE BARCODE TO ANY OTHER PERSON. The individual who presents the barcode to a retailer to claim a prize is deemed to be the same individual who purchased the ticket through the app.
Western Canada Lottery Corporation is under no obligation to take additional steps to confirm the identity of the individual presenting the barcode and shall in no circumstances be liable for paying the prize associated with the barcode presented to an individual who is not you. WCLC will only pay a conforming prize claim through the presentation of any given barcode one time.

Claiming By Mail
Remember that prizes up to $100 can be claimed at Lotto Spot retailers, and many retailers can redeem prizes up to $1,000. For a quick and efficient prize claim, we recommend visiting a retailer. Only mail tickets with prizes under $1,000 if you encounter issues claiming them at a retail location.
Important: If you plan to claim a prize by mail, please contact Player Care for directions on any additional information to include with your ticket, and mailing instructions. Please note that our Winnipeg head office is moving; contact us first to ensure you are sending your claim to the correct address.
See the claim forms below for additional information to include with your ticket. Ensure you print your name and address on the back of the ticket.
Keep a copy of the front and back of your ticket for your records. Depending on the prize amount, you may want to explore mailing options that provide a tracking number you can retain. Note that WCLC is not responsible for lost mail or the cost of sending your ticket.
Claim Forms
If you're claiming a prize by mail, please print and fill out the forms appropriate to your province or territory and include them with your ticket when you mail it in. This will help to expedite your claim and save prize staff the time to contact you for the information. The claimant information form for your province or territory can be found below.

If you're coming to a prize office to claim your prize, you can complete these forms in advance to expedite your claim process. However, our prize office staff is happy to fill them out with you during your appointment if you do not have access to a printer.
